​It is a pain free treatment, however some clients say when the light flashes they feel a slight flick and around the mouth it can leave a slight after taste. The higher the intensity clients can feel it slightly more.

WHAT IS IPL GOOD FOR

ACNEWe understand how difficult it can be to live with acne breakouts, which is why I offer treatments proven to work. Get fresher, clearer skin through Intense Pulsed Light Treatments, designed to heal spots, breakouts and congested skin. Perfect for congested pores, blackheads and spots.How does it work?Using a low energy, the light flashes over the area, flooding the skin with oxygen and destroying acne-causing bacteria within the pores. IPL is proven to be extremely effective on moderate inflammatory acneWhat areas can be treated?Face, chest and backIs the treatment right for me?This treatment is suitable for most people. During your initial consultation, I will assess your skin to determine if IPL is the right treatment. You will be patch tested during your consultation to see if IPL is right for youAre there any after effects?Your skin may appear a little flushed after the treatment, but this should subside very quicklyHow many treatments are recommended?Most people need a course of 3 plus treatments, with improvements noticeable after each sessionPIGMENTATIONPigmentation can be caused by a number of factors such as exposure to daylight throughout the year (think freckles), hormonal fluctuations, thyroid problems, or post-inflammatory pigmentation. I use IPL to break up and lighten deeper sun damage and hormonal melasma to create a more even skin tone.How does it work? The light is attracted to dark areas in your skin, making it extremely effective for lighter skin types. As it hits the dark spots, the light shatters the pigmentation which encourages it to lift to the surface before gradually lightening over a number of treatments as your surface cells renewWhat areas can be treated?Face and bodyWhat sort of results can I expect?You will get a more even skin tone after a single treatment, but we would recommend a course to fully lift and lighten darker pigmentation.Are there any side effects?Your skin may appear a little flushed after the treatment, but this should subside very quickly. A small scab will also appear but again this is the normal process and will disappear within a couple of weeksHow many treatments are recommended?Most people need a course of 3 plus treatments with 4 weeks in between each session. Improvements will be seen after each session.RED VEINSRed Veins, Thread Veins or Spider Veins usually appear across the nose, cheek and leg area and are often on the face difficult to cover up on a daily basis. It’s not clear why we develop them, but it is thought that, exposure to the sun, alcohol and hormonal changes along with hereditary factors can trigger them. I can help you get rid of them! The Intense Pulsed Light vein removal treatments are proven to visibly reduce the appearance of stubborn veinsHow does it work?The IPL is flashed over the area to heat and damage blood vessel walls, shrinking the targeted veins and making them disappear. Once they’ve broken down, the body drains them away in the lymphatic systemIs the treatment for me?The best results are delivered to clients with fair to lightly tanned skin, but is not recommended for darker skin typesWhat areas can be treated?Face and bodyAre there any after effects?There are no after effects associated with this treatment, but on some occasions the treated area may scab over but this is a normal effectANTI AGEINGThe IPL collagen booster offers a safe and non-invasive way to improve the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles and any other signs of premature ageing. With no after effects, appointments can be fitted into your lunch hour, helping to revive dull, tired skin around a busy schedule.How does it work?When used to target the signs of premature ageing, the IPL treatment works by warming the skin, tricking your fibroblasts into kick-starting collagen production. Collagen is essentially the building blocks of skin, the scaffolding responsible for keeping skin plump and firm. This causes wrinkles and lines to reflate and your skin tone will become more even as you progress through your course of treatmentsWhat areas can be treated?Face, neck and chest (including wrinkly/turkey neck)What kind of results can I expect?Skin will look and feel plump with a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinklesAre there any after effects?Your skin may appear a little flushed after the treatment, but this should subside very quicklyHow many treatments are recommended?Most people are prescribed a course of 3 plus treatments to achieve optimal results. Treatments will be spaced two weeks apart for the first two treatments and then once a month until you’ve achieved your desired results.
